Summary/Abstract: A Brief Summary of the Process of Creating an Interactive Web Map GIS is an essential technology for managing and analyzing spatial data, with vast applications in many fields. A Geographic Information System (GIS) is a technology for managing and analyzing spatial and geographic data. It combines hardware, software, and data to capture, store, analyze, manage, and present information related to locations on the Earth's surface. Using GIS, users can visualize, understand, and interpret spatial data in various ways, revealing relationships, patterns, and trends in the form of maps, reports, and charts.The present article attempts a straightforward graphical representation within a GIS environment of a database derived from various sources. The database in question originates from official websites and consists of multiple use of .xls files. The data contained therein are considered sufficient for graphical representation, as this database maintains records from multiple data series of pharmacies in Sibiu from 2017 to 2022, including numerous metadata related to each pharmacy, the most important being the address. In addition to the graphical representation of the database, the creation of a digital and interactive map (in HTML format) is also aimed for, which will be accessible via a web browser.
